10.1 Brewmaster Guide: Comprehensive Raid & M+ Guide

[@20the20]

I don't play brewmaster and don't really have any intentions to but I could listen to you talk about wow all day. I had a great time learning from this video and I love the way you talk about the game. Watched the whole thing through and I wish there were more videos like this, keep it up.

[@skurkgbg2079]

Imagine if dratnod made videos like this for every spec in the game. That would be the best thing ever.

[@michaeladamson1729]

Dratnod

[@SunniestAutumn]

I'd love to see Dratnod do this for Devastation Evoker.

[@skritto]

yep, do that for every spec, when its outdated after like 3 months thats why video guides are not that great because they get outdated very fast

[@cap1988]

Seriously thank you for this Dratty, this game can be very overwhelming for someone with minimal time to play, this makes me much more interested in logging in the game

[@Loorny]

That was the best guide and general spec insight I've have ever seen. Thanks a lot. Now I also understand why Max is so fond of you. The way you explained it all made the skill interaction very perspicuous.

[@wyattfahl]

Two addition 'weird' things about Brew that aren't listed in the tooltips.. Celestial Fortune increases all shields on you (I think the value is 80% of your crit, so with 38% crit it increases shields by 30%). This is what makes brew really like shielding items/trinkets. Gift of the Ox talent that gives a healing orb when you take damage, it's not really a 'chance' when you take damage. One always spawns every time you take 100% of your health pool in pre-mitigated damage.

[@tnasty15]

this is the best class guide I've ever watched. I've never played brewmaster but now I definitely want to

[@Lukasgate]

19:02 Not a bug, in fact weapons of order tooltip is being changed in 10.1.5 to include mentioning you gain WoO stacks by pressing Keg Smash AND Rising Sun Kick solidifying that it is intended for RSK to give WoO stacks. A good WoO rotation would be WoO>Keg>RSK>Keg>filler until your next Keg, which will at this point give you the 4 max stacks of WoO

[@ProtoGamer360]

I think it actually also gave a stack before the tooltip wording got updated because back in shadowlands (and i guess ultimately prior to this expansion but before... warlords?) leveling up as a monk, and selecting 'brewmaster' as your spec, Keg Smash replaced Rising Sun Kick. So there was probably some similar I.D. sharing stuff behind the scenes in the code.

[@CrimsonFang501]

Long time main tank (prot warrior and veng DH) that just started up a brewmaster for my main alt (and loving it). This guide was super incitefull and in depth without dragging anything unimportant out. Also very laid back vibe, grrat giide/content

[@Dampheria1]

just picked up brewmaster yester learning as I go, great vid in my humble openion

[@Robbiex0x]

Great video Dratnos, thank you for all the information. Been looking forward to gearing up my BrM tank alt and this guide gave a lot of insight. Going over the Talents was extremely useful and explained them better than just reading over a guide for me.

[@gradiusikaruga]

Probably the best spec guide i've watched for any tank. Please do the others!!

[@michaeladamson1729]

Agreed

[@Bone25]

This type of guide is fantastic. Starting out with the bare basics and going really in depth where appropriate. I know it would be a tonne of work, but guides in this style for more classes would be amazing. Definitely worth considering for even more content though!

[@frost2621]

I’d love to see you do a guide like this for Veng DH or Prot Pally!

[@miro191]

Thanks for the video! Quick tip, the "grip" portion of Clash can be used as a stop on adds.

[@Arkael1110]

Really great breakdown, I hope they do something about the number of abilities in the war within like they did for Windwalker. I do not have enough keybinds to take all the talents I want to take.

[@hashstabtv8517]

Loved the part: "Roll - Makes you roll" ! I'm here ROFLing :P

[@110160]

What a guide, i'm making a brewmaster now :3

[@bellywf5033]

Great video! Quick note: Rushing jade wind also makes resonating fists proc more, although, I would say delivery is better for M+ in some cases, as you get 50% slow on mobs, which is REALLY useful for kiting, especially on fortified weeks

[@zackthomas7244]

This is excellent! I have a jr brewmaster and it is a ton of fun. Appreciate the deep dive.

[@raphaelcioffi847]

awesome guide, thanks !

[@kail_6019]

Very good guide

[@gavinlawhite8721]

Max Exploding keg secondary dam by pressing two spinning crane kicks(global locked) right after keg. Also have RJW up

[@sashan6683]

Thanks for this Dratnos, was trying to take my brew to the next level and feel like this guide was way better at explaining the things I needed than other guides that try to fit all of this info into 10 minutes

[@RobTunes]

So few guides actually discuss the basics and the core of a spec - this is excellent! Thank you so much Dratnos!

[@superninja4526]

Very great guide to follow! Appreciate the detail and depth mr dratnos

[@tomjanvogelaar8748]

Currently playing fistweaver at 2500rio, and gathering gear to start playing brew as well. Just love the monk toolkit and feel

[@madtrade]

once a monk always a monk !

[@freddielee3179]

32:26 Mastery increases attack power, and since Celestial brew shield scales off attack power and is brew's best defence against magic damage mastery has decent defensive value vs magic

[@dratnos]

good call!

[@Assywalker]

@@dratnos Gift of the Ox and Expel Harm also scale with AP.

[@90VYD]

i use doctorio's UI, slightly modified to move utility to the side and move the rotational abilities on the top row. i find that very intuitive and easy to check

[@alejandrol.r.7396]

Awesome Guide !!! There are few videos about Brewmaster Monk that are as good as this one

[@RobTunes]

12:51 Purifying Brew and Celestial Brew bookmark

[@Jimbobbinson]

Comprehensive indeed. Good stuff

[@BobBob-vx4ck]

As always your knowledge is incredible, thank you. If you took a little more time to prepare and organize and flying around so much which has nothing to do with what you're talkin about is a little distracting. Again fantastic information thank you. I really enjoy the brewmaster even more so because it's so under-represented, said this video has felt like a treat

[@balazsscheier5901]

Rising sun kick giving a stack has been a thing since the beginning of the expansion. Weapons of orders description has been also changed on the ptr to include rsk giving a stack. So that seems to be an intended behaviour.

[@webster8828]

It says in the tool tip, Weapons of Order stacks up the dmg increase debuff

[@Julian.Smith.Visualization]

please, I need it for the algorithm. I need it so bad.

[@augustus4928]

Thanks for the guide, helpful for a new bm player like me :)

[@sebastian6843]

you could have gotten stagger to yellow or red on the dummy if you just hit him to get shuffle up and not standing backwards :D and you missed an important interaction from explosive keg to deal extra dmg on every hit for 3 seconds making it highly valuable to press spinning crane kick twice after

[@dzinx0rrr]

if you went all the way to pick counterstrike in your talent tree, i suggest you drop dragonfire brew in favor of charred passions. You should always pair up charred passions with counterstrike, especially now when they work well together with our 4set (at least in m+). Also in class tree all those expel harm healing talents are way more powerful than you think they are :) in high keys expel harm has saved my life hundreds of times, since it can top you off from close to 0 to 100

[@srdjan780]

RSK giving a stack to weapons of order isnt a bug, it was a compensation buff for the trinket/externals nerf.

[@noelbright943]

algo boost this vid rules hope to see more of these!!

[@benwilliams2243]

An “issue” with s2 is alts are so easy to reroll, the new project is brewho, courtesy of Dratnos, looking forward to a season of m+ tanking. Does suck you want a lot of rare items like trinkets and the weapon as well as that stupid ring! A great video as always however, a big fan from EU!

[@maximilianoruizmacias8089]

Great video! Thanks :)

[@highgrade9]

Looking for that 10.1.5 update in future weeks ❤

[@thanksvarent]

I can't help but feel high tolerance is a wasted 2 node once you have enough agility for 40% base stagger, because after shuffle this 2 point node is translating into like 1% additional stagger.

[@katscratch_newt]

Yo this is FIRE

[@jorrit_8292]

The "when you take damage, you have a chance to summon a healing sphere" talent is a bit misleading. According to people in the monk discord it would be more accurate to say "When you have staggered 100% of your health, you will summon a healing sphere"

[@guffels]

Most of this is pretty natural with the class design but there were a few good tips for more experienced players.

[@Hkizzler]

that awkward moment when you've been playing monk as an alt for years and did notice spinning crane kick pulls in orbs

[@MRPC5]

Bonedust brew accounts for such a small percentage of my overall that I question why it's always taken.

[@darkstrike055]

Love BrM since Legion, Could definitely get some keybinds trimmed... it's too much.

[@Luxumbra69]

yo dude what is that addon/WA that shows you how much diminishing returns you're getting on your secondaries?

[@joostchristiaens7032]

I have always loved playing brewmaster but it just has to many buttons for me to make it fun its like playing piano

[@TheUnicornApocolypse]

When you use keg smash with the resetting breath of fire talent (i.e. always), how should you use Breath of Fire in your rotation? Is it okay to be skipping uses of the breath of fire, so long as you have the dot up at all times? M+ and Raid.

[@tommythecat10]

for the algorithm!

[@carteks1]

VDH next? Pls?

[@Gaming_BlackWolf]

What kind of addon is that with the player's life indicator?

[@Gaming_BlackWolf]

????😢

[@BigLove0331]

What is that weapon illusion enchant?

[@MrStrongmuscle]

It doesn't take over 1 hour to explain it.

[@Zed88a]

can u do a blood dk one too?

[@Jay-407]

Wonder why I never run into monk tanks in m+

[@jeffreypenkoff6178]

They are....sometimes very squishy in M+. Stagger tends to be a lot less effective on all the fast small hits instead of slow, big hits. Speaking as a healer, they are probably the tank that requires the most attention on my end in M+, because their damage mitigation profile just isn't as self-sufficient

[@Dather28]

RSK bomb marco plz and rings?

[@jeffreypenkoff6178]

#showtooltip Rising Sun Kick /cast Rising Sun Kick /use Dragonfire Bomb Dispenser That should work

[@BeautifulInmindbodyspirit]

Bro doesnt have vivify on his bars rip.. unsubscribed and reported.

[@Assywalker]

With the magic of macros and X-Mouse Button Control I was able to turn Blackout Kick, Rising Sun Kick, Keg Smash, Rushing Jade Wind, Breath of Fire, Chi Wave and Tiger Palm into a single button, that I can even hold if I want to. This spec is so much better to play, if you can focus on stuff like position, interrupts or utility and not have to stare at some WeakAura all the time. Since BM uses a very straight forward priority list of abilities, it fits this approach very well.

[@vivelafrance8400]

Hey! Would you mind sharing the macro? I thought blizzard removed the ability to make macro based on conditions

[@joecangemi7672]

Can you share macro with me please?

[@Nadindel]

Planning to do this with all tank specs?

[@kayladecant7332]

Sadly he usually only does a guide for whatever he mains

[@chiefputty]

Great video, thanks!
